Right now my life is rather boring ... I am really trying to decide if I should go to the TPT conference alone. YIKES!!! I do not like to travel alone. Anyone going from Houston???

Here is my Feb. Currently:

Yes, that is me right now in a nutshell.

The one thing I have been working on is decluttering my spaces ... It is so hard because I am a hoarder by nature. I can find a use for almost anything. I LOVE to reduce, recycle, and reuse! I have been doing a little selling on the BBBS on Facebook. It is slow going but I will be successful!

Listening: To
the steady hum of my computer. I have been on it WAY too much during the holiday and have not been very productive. My husband keeps saying, "Step away from the laptop." I think I will do that some today!

Loving: That
I have until Monday to relax, enjoy the family time, and get things done! Even though I love my job and students ... I LOVE my days off! My family is so important to me and I love spending time with them. Even if it is cuddling and watching a movie!

Thinking: I
have so many ideas swimming in my head and so many items on my to do list … is
there enough time? I have got to get a handle on this ADHD!!! I make lists, but that is still not keeping me focused.

Wanting: To
plan a vacation for my family. Trying to keep the cost low, but still have a
ball! I am going to try and plan for some small day trips at least once a month. My kids are growing so fast and I feel like I am spending way to much time focusing on things that won't matter in the end.

Needing: To
write thank you cards for all of the wonderful gifts I got this Christmas. I wrote all of the ones for my kids in my class before I left for the break and that felt so good! I need to get the others in the mail! They are on that list ...

Yes, maybe, I wish: To
loose some of the weight I collected this year and start using my gym
membership. I am really making an effort to eat more at home, save some money, and try to get to the gym. I just do not like going to the gym alone ... anyone go alone and is it THAT bad?

OK, now it is your turn ... go link up with Farley so I can read all about your Currently!

I
love to organize!

My friend/TPT partner and I have created a number of items that can help you organize in the New Year.

Here are some of my favorite organization ideas:

Here are my table organization carts:

What are they are used for?

All of my students journals, student books, current language & math manipuatives, and anything each table needs to have easy access to.

They are all color coded and their is no confusion about which one belongs to which table. I LOVE my labels. On top are the kids daily supplies close at hand. There is no wondering around to find what they need. It helps our day run smoothly. Everything stays pretty neat and tidy. I would recommend them to anyone. I was lucky enough to have parents donate 6 of them last year. They usually sit between two tables, but I have to do a different classroom design this year and these are next to one table. The yellow table backs up the the yellow cart. I took the wheels off so they would not move around. I hope you like them.

My helpers ...

So nice and organized! Every child has a leadership role and are super excited to see which role they will take on each week.

It really helps make the day run smooth when everyone pitches into help & the kids are so proud!

These have really helped me organize my materials! I love them. When someone asks me about a skill, I just grab the binder and get to work. I love the look on their face when they see them ... They really think I am very organized!
